Bergen County, New Jersey, is the most populated county in New Jersey, with over 936,000 people in the 2018 census report.
Bergen County was part of the original four counties in NJ. Bergen County was also the location of many key battles that took place in the Revolutionary War. The most important battle was the Battle of Fort Lee. Fort Lee’s location high on the hillsides of the Palisades proved a strategic location to prevent the British troops from sailing on the Hudson River.
The George Washington Bridge is located in Fort Lee, New Jersey, and is infamous for the Bridgegate Scandal when politicians were charged with creating crippling gridlock in 2013. The traffic study at the George Washington Bridge was allegedly a political retribution scheme. The politicians at the center of the scheme have appealed the case all the way to the United States Supreme Court.
With the traffic created by high volumes of people traveling in and through Bergen County, people may sustain serious injuries in accidents any day during the year. Anyone injured in an accident in Bergen County is entitled to compensation for their damages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and reimbursement for property damages and bills.

Innocent people can become victims in accidents due to another person’s carelessness. When this happens, they may be entitled to compensation for their injuries. The party that caused these injuries will be held responsible for compensating you for your personal injuries suffered in your accident.
Car accidents occur all the time and when you least expect it. Even when you drive carefully, the other driver on the road may not be paying attention. If you are in injured in a car accident due to another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your permanent injuries. New Jersey car accident victims are entitled to seek compensation for their damages. The law allows you to recover compensation for property damage, injuries, medical bills, future medical expenses, emotional damages, and wage losses.
Motorcycles in New Jersey are involved in accidents all the time. Many frequent causes of motorcycle accidents are due to other vehicles that fail to observe motorcycles on the roads and highways. All drivers are required by law to hare the road with motorcycles.
Large trucks can cause serious injuries and fatalities when involved in accidents. The mass and momentum of trucks can lead to devastating accidents when they crash with other vehicles. Common causes of truck accidents are driver fatigue and inexperienced truck drivers.
Pedestrians can be sitting ducks when drivers fail to yield to pedestrians crossing the street. Sometimes drivers on cell phones fail to notice pedestrians. Other drivers rushing to their destination refuse to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. Drivers who fail to yield for pedestrians can be pulled over by police. Pedestrians hit by cars are entitled to have their medical bills reimbursed. Pedestrians are also entitled to compensation for their injuries.
Business owners are responsible to all people on their premises. Business owners must maintain their premises free from all hazards and dangerous conditions. Business owners are responsible for all dangers that they know about or that they should have known about. People who are injured at a business owner’s property are entitled to compensation for their medical bills and injuries.
In New Jersey, any person bitten or attacked by a dog is entitled to compensation. Unlike other states, New Jersey’s dog bite law is “strict liability.” This means that the owner of the dog is responsible for injuries suffered from the dog bite. Many victims of dog bites sustain permanent scars from the dog bite.
New Jersey allows compensation for wrongful death claims. If another person’s negligence, wrongful act or defect caused the death of a loved one, the estate and loved ones of the decedent is entitled to compensation. The estate of the victim can bring a claim for the loss of their family member.

Howard is very professional and very pleasant at all times. He was amazing during the entire process of fighting for me and told me not to worry. Once he told me that I knew I made the right choice of hiring him as my lawyer. He kept me informed every step of the way and explained the entire process to me in full detail in a way I could understand. He calls, emails and text you to keep you updated all throughout the process as I was being sued do to a car accident with false accusations. GUESS WHAT??? He called me a few days ago and told me the case was dismissed. He is again AMAZING. I was worried but I felt he was confident that we would win but he did not tell me this. You could just feel the confidence in his voice. I highly recommend Howard because he will fight with and for you until the very end. He is the BEST!!
